The players
The players are the ones who are really winning in the NBA Finals. They are the ones who have worked hard all season, and they are the ones who are going to get a chance to play for the championship. The players are the ones who are going to get the chance to win the MVP award, and they are the ones who are going to get the chance to make the big shot in the end.
LeBron James
LeBron James is one of the most winningest players in NBA Finals history. He has played in ten NBA Finals and has won three championship titles. In his first seven trips to the Finals, he was named the NBA Finals MVP three times. He is also a two-time Olympic gold medalist.
Anthony Davis
Davis plays the power forward and center positions for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He was selected first overall in the 2011 NBA draft by New Orleans, then traded to Los Angeles in 2019. He is a seven-time NBA All-Star and has been named to four All-NBA First Teams and three All-Defensive Teams. He won an NBA championship with the Lakers in 2020, alongside LeBron James as well as being named the Finals MVP.
Jimmy Butler
Jimmy Butler is an American professional basketball player for the Minnesota Timberwolves of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Born in Houston, Butler grew up in Tomball, Texas, and played college basketball for Tyler Junior College and Marquette University. He was drafted with the 30th overall pick in the 2011 NBA draft by the Chicago Bulls.
In his second season with the Bulls, Butler earned a spot on the NBA All-Rookie Second Team. He continued to improve throughout his career, becoming an All-Star for the first time in 2014 and then again in 2015 and 2016. In 2016–17, he was named to both the All-NBA Third Team and the NBA All-Defensive Second Team. Following that season, he was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The matchup
The Golden State Warriors are back in the NBA Finals for the fifth consecutive year. They will take on the Toronto Raptors, who are making their first appearance in the Finals in franchise history. This will be a rematch of the 2015 Finals, which the Warriors won in six games.
The Lakers’ offense vs. the Heat’s defense
While the Los Angeles Lakers have started the 2020 NBA Finals with two wins, it hasn’t been pretty. They are shooting just 43.6% from the field and 29.8% from three-point range. Part of that is due to the fact that they are playing against a great defensive team in the Miami Heat. The Heat are currently ranked second in defensive efficiency and they have shown that they can slow down even the best offenses in the league.
The Lakers’ offense will need to step up if they want to win the series. In Game 1, Anthony Davis was the only player who was able to consistently create shots for himself and his teammates. LeBron James has been struggling with his shot and he is not getting to the basket as much as he normally does. If the Lakers want to win, they will need better production from their role players like Kyle Kuzma and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.
Even though the Lakers’ offense has struggled, their defense has been great. They are currently ranked first in defensive efficiency and they have done a good job of forcing turnovers and contested shots. The key for them will be to continue to play at a high level on both ends of the court.
The Heat’s offense vs. the Lakers’ defense
In the NBA Finals, the Miami Heat’s offense will be pitted against the Los Angeles Lakers’ defense. The Lakers have the league’s best defense, while the Heat have the second-best offense. So, who has the edge?
The Lakers’ defense isbuilt around their big men, Anthony Davis and Dwight Howard. They are two of the best shot-blockers in the league and will make it difficult for the Heat to score inside. The Heat will need to rely on their perimeter shooters to try to offset this advantage.
The Heat’s offense is led by their two All-Stars, Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo. Butler is a great scorer and Adebayo is a beast on the boards. They will need to have big games if the Heat want to win.
In the end, it will likely come down to which team can execute better. The Lakers have the better defense, but the Heat have more fire power on offense. It should be a great series!
The outcome
The Los Angeles Lakers are the 2020 NBA Champions. They defeated the Miami Heat in six games. This was the Lakers’ first NBA Championship since 2010, and their 17th overall.
Who will win the series?
The Los Angeles Lakers are scheduled to take on the Miami Heat in the 2020 NBA Finals. The Lakers are coming off of a dominating performance in the Western Conference Finals, while the Heat needed six games to get past the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Many experts are picking the Lakers to win the NBA Finals, but there are a few who believe that the Heat can pull off the upset. Who do you think will win the series?
Who will be the MVP?
There is no clear cut answer for who will be the MVP this year.
Many basketball experts are saying that it will be between two players: James Harden and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Harden has been phenomenal this season, leading the league in scoring with an average of 36.1 points per game. He’s also averaging 6.6 assists and 5.2 rebounds per game.
On the other hand, Antetokounmpo is averaging 27.7 points, 12.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game. He’s also been a great defensive player, averaging 1.3 blocks and 1.5 steals per game.
So who will be the MVP? It’s impossible to say for sure, but it will be a close race between these two players.
